The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. If you own a physical copy of Breath of the Wild it could be reasonably argued that making a "backup" copy for personal use is your legal right as an owner of the product.Ĭan I Download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I Already Own the Authentic Game?
